311km/h = 86.389 m/s 
<span>Initial KE </span>
<span>= 0.5 * 210 * 86.389^2 J </span>

<span>work done by force of ground </span>
<span>= F * 0.81 J </span>

<span>0.5 * 210 * 86.389^2 = 0.81 F </span>

<span>F = 967433.58 N </span>

<span>capsule's weight W= 210 * 9.81 = 2060.1 N </span>

<span>F = 469.6 times capsule weight ---answer</span>

First set up the equation to find answer: y=7-x. Then add it to the variable. 3x-1(7-x)=1. So that makes it 3x+-7+-1=1. Add like terms -7+-1=-8, so 3x+-8=1. Now to find x just switch the 8 to the other side. So you end up with 3x=9 since when you take away a number from one side you need to use the opposite value so adding 8 to -8 will cancel it out, then add it to the other, then just divide. 9/3=3, from here just substitute to find y. y=7+3. y=10. The answer is x=2 and y=5. I hope I helped!
